Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch. It may take up to 11 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. Verify the scan tool Windshield Wiper High Speed Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not Inactive 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If Inactive 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 1.
  6. Verify the scan tool Windshield Wiper High Speed Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not Active 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If Active 
  7. Test for greater than 8 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than 8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If 8 V or greater 
  8. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
  9. Test for less than 1 V between the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1 V 
  10. Test or replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.
